Abstract:
In a first part, we recall the definition of quasianalytic algebras of functions or germs of functions and give several examples of such algebras. Then we prove that convenient quasianalytic algebras generate o-minimal expansions of the real field. One important ingredient of the proof is the technique of resolution of singularities as discussed by Edward Bierstone in his course.
